Local fix

Problem summary

• Several RAS events had inconsistent values as their SEVERITY
  and STATE. For instance, the event "network_bond_degraded",
  with STATE=DEGRADED, has SEVERITY=INFO. As a result,
  related failures were not propagated properly.
  

Problem conclusion

• Benefits of the solution:
  Consistent view of unHEALTHY RAS events.
  No more showing  HEALTHY RAS events as if they were errors.

  event definition each time to understand if it is a problem

  - bond_degraded
